  This phenomenon was related to iaStorA.sys Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver from Intel Corp.  It is a buggy especially with SSDS driver or hybrid.  I'd install the most recent driver available, even if it is the same date that drivers become corrupt.

  If you have a SSD drive or hybrid don't forget to update the firmware and you really need to update to win 8.1, you will stop to get the updates bit of time if you do not have.

• Are there problems with Microsoft 7 and Frontpage 2002? The system shuts down when I try to add a hyperlink.

  The system shuts down when I try to add a hyperlink.  The hyperlink insertion page opens.  But when I try to click on the link that reads "Microsoft Frontpage has stopped working.  A problem caused the blocking of the program works correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. »

  Edited to add: if I type in the hyperlink, it seems to work.  But in the past, I just clicked it.  But now when I click on it is when she stops.  Strange.  Did not this on the Vista computer.

  Hello CaptainKAG,

  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

  I recommend you post in the Forum Office where this problem is related to FrontPage 2002. We can install on Windows 7, but is not fully compatible, so some features may not work properly. Office 2003 and Office 2007 are fully compatible with Windows 7.

• FPGA code slows down suddenly

  I have the following code in the FPGA (didn't integrate the png because it is too big. You will have to click on the attachment below) and I noticed a bottleneck in the FIFO, when both running on the FPGA and jusing simulating values in the Dev Enviroment. Here are the values of control

  Sampling frequency - 1 ms

  Btwn samples - 1000 ms delay

  NB of static samples - 10

  I know that my conversion fxp is lousy right now and I will correct this, but I know that's not the issue. The question is in my FIFO because when I disable it everything works correctly. See the following questions which I will describe here is what I notice when I do not disable the part of the diagram:

  Running in the Dev Environment:

  Code works very well... for a while. If I look at the indicator loop counter it goes fast (about 1ms as programmed to do) of 0 to 9, then breaks for 1000 ms wait and then goes again. After about 20 all iterations of the loop, the for loop suddenly slows down way. I can see this because if I look at the counter of the loop, it starts to increment once every 5 seconds. I thought, well maybe the FIFO DMA reaches its limit, but is it not fixed? Old data should not only be overwritten? Is not delay because the delay indicator will never true so I have no idea whats going on.

  Running on FPGA:

  Never the time to fast as iteration above. From the outset, will slow down. I noticed this, because my side of RT, I have a dedicated loop to only read items in FIFO (see below). I put it to the top to read 340 items both (34 samples of table x 10 element). It takes forever for the FIFO reach 340 items (it should take only 10 ms). Because I have 1000 ms pause between entering the data there is no reason that my buffer should be overflowing.

  Suggestions? Sorry, I cannot post my RT code, but may be able to view the FPGA code if it is really necessary.

  Found the problem. The RTD I use by default in mode 'accuracy '. These RTD also do not have simultaneous sampling (NI 9217). In fine mode, the conversion time is set to 200 Ms. which explains why when I bench marked it took 800 ms to run one to the loop iteration (200 ms/Channel * 4 channels).

  To fix this, go to your project, click with the right button on any given RTD, choose Properties, change the conversion time of 2.5 ms.

  Without more information, we can only speculate...

  If this happens whenever you watch a video, it's a good clue that the problem could be in your audio or video configuration, then you should start looking there.  Then, if you make adjustments, you can check your known failure scenario (watching a video) and see if the problem is resolved.

  These are the same questions I ask everyone who has a BSOD problem:

  Please provide additional information on your system, and we have all this and much more.

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

  The afflicted system has a CD/DVD drive work?

  You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  Your system seems to start OK and then crash or didn't he start not at all?

  If your system works fine, what do you think might have changed since the last time it worked correctly?

  Can you make the system crash when you want
  ?  For example, you would say that there is no specific system activity that coincides with the accidents (like watching videos, playing games, etc.).
  The next time your system crashes, provide more information on what you see.

  Here's a BSOD example showing information you provide:

  http://TechRepublic.com.com/i/tr/downloads/images/bsod_a.jpg

  Send for the nose and the Red arrows (3 to 4 lines total).

  Send all * line STOP message since there are clues in the 4 parameters.

  If there is a name of the file listed in the STOP message, don't forget to include this information too.

  Ignore the boring text unless it seems important to you.  We know what a BSOD looks like, we need to know what your BSOD looks like.
  Now provide more information about your system and data against more recent accidents.
  Click Start, run and enter in the box:
  Msinfo32
  Click on OK and when the system info summary appears, click on Edition, select all, copy, and then paste the information here.
  For information about video drivers, expand components, click view, click on edit, select all, copy and then paste the information here.

  For information about the audio drivers, expand components, click Sound Device, click on edit, select all, copy and then paste the information here.

  There will be some personal information (such as the user name and the name of the system), and anything that turns information private for you, simply delete the pasted information.
  This will minimize back Q & A and eliminate guesswork.
  Download BlueScreenView here:
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/blue_screen_view.html
  Unzip it and run it (BSV installs nothing) and let him complete the digitization of all your crash dump files.
  If you double-click on depressed, you will get information on it (including the field caused by the driver) and you should be able to spot the problem right away - especially if you see a model in landfills where Caused by field pilot is the same (beginning with this driver).
  Select (highlight) one or more of the most recent dump files by clicking on them and hold down the CTRL key to select multiple files.  Try to select only the most recent links that relate to your problem (perhaps five or six to start dump files).

• System slows down during playback of 3 channels simultaneously

  Hi all!

  I'm at the stage of beginning with Labview (7.0, old I know ;() and try to encode a routine that reads data force 3 - axis load cell (400 Hz sampling frequency), it filters with low-pass filter simple software (cut 100 Hz) and the future written down into a data file if I use Matlab for plotting.) I met strange delay when I read the three channels at the same time and I'm trying to understand what has hurt.

  Here are the steps in my code (I used > example as a base):

  (1) I've initialized global channels, in which I put across the voltage according to the diagrams provided manufacturing

  LC is physically connected to SG23/SC-2345 combo, which, in turnes, connected to the PXI-6221 DAQ card

  (2) I've initialized a virtual channel for pxi-6221 so I can have control over its gain (+/-0 .5v, +/-1v, +/-5v, +/-10v) and the value of the gain for + / 1v, gives me the precision desired (at least I hope for that)

  (3) wired global channels to the block of PXI

  (4) set at 400 Hz sampling rate

  (5) acquisition of start-up

  (6) Split into three channels signal and connected a VI for filtering to one of them

  The thing is, once I have started the program, everything is "moving" so slow that made me wander if I do things right.

  Would be very happy comments

  My VI:

  The only thing you don't mention changing is the number of samples to be read. The VI you have posted a number of samples to read the value of 4000. If you change the sample rate of 400, then of course it will take 10 seconds to acquire as many samples.

• Unknown to the programs that run in the background, slowing down the computer

  System resources are always be taxed.  How to get to the screen that lists all the programs that start automatically at system boot?  How to identify unnecessary programs in startup list?  Once identified, how to eliminate these programs?

  Hello DcR3, levels,

  How to get to the screen that lists all the programs that start automatically at system boot? How to identify unnecessary programs in startup list? Once identified, how to eliminate these programs?

   I would say do not delete program files if you are unsure what it is.  You can do a search online of a file if you don't know exactly what it is.

  To view startup programs:

  Right-click on the icon in the start menu. Select "Explorer" from the menu that appears
  Find the 'Programs' folder in the pane on the left side of the dialog window. Click the plus sign "+" to expand the tree of folders
  Click the "Startup" folder to view the programs that start up when your computer is turned on

  Go to the start menu. In the menu list, click on 'run '.

  Type "msconfig" without the quotes in the text bar. Click on 'OK '.

  Click on the "Startup" tab in the dialog window of the System Configuration that is displayed.

  Scroll down to see all of the programs and program files that start up when your computer is turned on.

• HP Envy: a blue screen at startup, then the system shuts down its own

  When I turn on my computer, a blue screen appears and remains.  The boot sequence does not turn on and the computer shuts off after a minute or two.

  Hit the ESC key after that market puts me at the page 'option '.  'Advanced options', I tried "System Restore" and "Startup Repair" or solved the problem.  Failed to start in safe mode or change the boot settings because the sequence of starting (reboot) the system is broken.

  A hard system reset did not work and pushing the F2 key does not bring to the top of the page of diag sys.

  At this point, it seems that the only option on the left are trying to boot from a USB device or do a Reset from the PC (keep my files)?

  Any suggestion would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  It looks like you can have a hard/failed drive. If PC Reset is an option try it. If this does not work I would like to replace the hard drive and booting with recovery media to install Windows.

• Can I recorver signature code information if the system breaks down?

  
  

  If you are unable to access the information on the hard drive, then it is safe to say that your keys are lost at this point.  It would be easier to have your keys 'regenerated' that can be done by sending an e-mail to [email protected] with the following information:

  The origin of the name registered:

  Initially the name:

  Email originally recorded:

  Initially recorded PIN:

  They will find your old keys and generate a new game for you for free.

• Video games slow down the computer even when closed?

  Recently, I replaced the NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE with a 8400 GS PCI Express so that I can play Call of Duty 4, Fallout 3, Microsoft Flight Simulator X, etc. After installation of the new equipment, several problems came. I have a 32-bit of Windows Vista Home Premium.

  1. the "Windows experience index" could not evaluate the 8400 GS.
  2. Windows could not find the driver for the 8400 GS software automatically, then I found myself from www.nvidia.com.
  3. Although games played much more quickly after any where between 5 and 30 minutes of games, the computer goes REALLY slow. Yet once I close the games via the Task Manager, the computer continues to accuse. Icons highlight more slowly, for example. It remains for 5 to 10 minutes before returning to its original state.

  It could have been a problem plant material so I reinstalled the driver/3 times already.
  I have cleaned the registry of the computer, defragmented it and the two drives C and D.
  Problem persists.

  Help, please? Otherwise I'm going to get a new video card that is not too good.

  Hi decapen10,

  Looks like you're having overheating problems. Everything works fine until the internal temperature reaches a certain point, then the system slows down to protect the processor failure. When you leave the high demands of the games that you play, the card can cool down a bit and things pick back up. Take a look at your map and see if there's a fan built in. If this is not the case, try to join one. If so, try to take the case out of your pc to see what happens. If it works fine, then you must install some additional cooling in your case to dissipate heat coming builing. The other scenario is that you could have a defective 8400 GS. You could try to Exchange if it is still under warranty.
